VII. Facilities update from Patrick: Chloride levels are now below 80 in both wells; average pumpage was just short of 5,000 gallons per day in December. The old tank has been dismantled and removed and the new tank is fully operational. It has a circulator that the old tank did not. This keeps the water moving inside the tank, which prevents freezing and ensures that the treated water does not stratify. The SCWA will install a new test well near the corner of Manhanset and Dering Woods Roads the third week of January. It will take about a week to complete. The purpose is to determine definitively the depth of the salt-water barrier and the dimensions of the freshwater lens so that when new wells are installed, they can be placed with confidence within the fresh water lens. Our newest well (#2) was installed too deep in the aquifer, which accounts for the chloride problems we have experienced with that well. Meters for each residence will be installed and functional for next season. The work will take about 6 weeks. The start date has not been established yet, but you will be given notice and a detailed explanation of the process and rational in the coming weeks. In February I will prepare a more detailed report on the water distribution system that will include a project finance report for the tank, and plans and options for new wells, controls and necessary infrastructure. It will include options available for the Village to consider along with anticipated costs. The test results from the new test well, which should be available mid-February, will help define the options available to us.
